A polyethylenimine adjuvant modified by mannose, which may be used in the study of vaccine adjuvant, was prepared this paper. Its structure characterized infrared spectroscopy and its micromorphology observed transmission electron microscopy. series mannose-modified polyvinylimine were according to molar ratio primary amine groups between mannose polyvinylimine, their storage stability at 4°C. ...

introduction: influenza can cause more severe diseases and higher rate of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. therefore, they should receive influenza vaccine annually. however, the host response to vaccine is less in older individuals. on the other hand, selenium can act as a stimulator of the immune system and cause increased immunity and response to vaccine. this study was car...

Supplementation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from non-pathogenic Escherichia coli was found to enhance the adjuvant effects of a veterinary vaccine adjuvant (ISA 71VG®). Sperm immunization using 71VG as an adjuvant in the immature period induced infertility in 25% of male rats, whereas this increased to 62.5% after immunization with 71VG + LPS or Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). Mean testicul...

Gastric cancer is the second cause of cancer that is related to death and the fourth most common cancer, worldwide. Complete resection of cancer is the only curative treatment for gastric cancer. However, even if complete resection is possible, recurrence is frequently observed in Gastric patients. Therefore, adjuvant treatment modality for resectable gastric cancer is needed to increase the su...

In subunit vaccines, strong CD8(+) T-cell responses are desired, yet they are elusive at reasonable adjuvant doses. We show that targeting adjuvant to the lymph node (LN) via ultrasmall polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), which rapidly drain to the LN after intradermal injection, greatly enhances adjuvant efficacy at low doses. Coupling CpG-B or CpG-C oligonucleotides to NPs led to better dual-targe...
